| All nonsense she held in scorning | B |
| But you never can tell what the primmest miss | A |
| Will do of a bright spring morning | B |
| - | |
| What this one did was to spread a snare | C |
| For feet of a youth unheeding | B |
| As March with a meek and lamb like air | C |
| To its very last hour was speeding | B |
| - | |
| Oh he was the dullard of his class | D |
| For how can a youth get learning | B |
| With his eyes aye fixed on a pretty lass | D |
| And his heart aye filled with yearning | B |
| - | |
| Who finds 'mong the rushes which fringe a pool | E |
| She told him the first wind blossom | F |
| May wish what he will poor April fool | E |
| With but one wish in his bosom | F |
| - | |
| Her gray eyes danced on a wild goose chase | G |
| He'd sally forth on the morrow | H |
| And later she'd laugh in his sombre face | G |
| And jest at his words of sorrow | H |
| - | |
| But penitence and a troubled mind | I |
| Were fruits of the night's reflection | J |
| After all he was simple and strong and kind | I |
| 'Twas wrong to flout his affection | J |
| - | |
| They met on the hill as she walked to school | E |
| He said unheeding her blushes | K |
| Here's the early flower your April fool | E |
| Found growing among the rushes | K |
| - | |
| Take it or leave it as you will | L |
| His voice ringing out so clearly | M |
| Awoke in her heart a happy thrill | L |
| You know that I love you dearly | M |
| - | |
| Day dreams indulged as she taught the school | E |
| Held lovers kneeling and suing | B |
| Take it or leave it her April fool | E |
| Was masterful in his wooing | B |
| - | |
| He gave her the flower she gave him a kiss | A |
| His suit she had long been scorning | B |
| But you never can tell what the primmest miss | A |
| Will do of a bright spring morning | B |
